A Cover That Looks at the Data Through a Window
An analytical paper breaks a subject into parts and examines each. The photograph on this cover, a hand pointing at a chart on a sheet of paper, sits in a tilted square window framed by a thick charcoal band, as if the reader were examining the evidence. The slate blue and charcoal palette is sober and academic. It suits papers in business, social science, economics and literature.
Tilted Photo Window and Slate Blue Shapes
The page is 8.5 x 11 inches, portrait, one page. A large slate blue triangle fills the upper left with a white LOGO. A rounded charcoal frame holds the tilted photograph, with the date August 18, 202X turned along its upper edge. Stripes in blue and charcoal run along the bottom. The shapes in the analytical research cover are graphics, and the photo is replaceable.
Title, Author and Description
ANALYTICAL appears in slate blue serif capitals above RESEARCH PAPER TITLE in bold black. A two line description lies below. At the lower left of the photo, Mattie Moore and Job Title Goes Here give the author block. Replace ANALYTICAL with the subject or leave it as the paper type, then enter the real title on the black line.
Elements of an Analytical Paper to Plan
- A clear question or thesis.
- Criteria or a framework for the analysis.
- Evidence from sources and data.
- A section on limits of the analysis.
- A conclusion that answers the question.
Choosing the Photo for an Analytical Paper
The sample shows a hand with a chart. Choose a picture that signals examination, such as a magnifier, a graph or a document. Avoid decorative images that have nothing to do with analysis.
Writing the Title
State the subject and the angle, for example An Analysis of Pricing Strategies in Online Grocery Retail. Avoid vague words such as Study of, unless your instructor asks for them. A precise title helps readers decide whether to read on.
Editing and Printing the Analytical Research Cover
The fonts are Inter and PT Serif. Text edits freely. Print on 100 gsm for a class submission or 120 gsm for a thesis committee. The charcoal frame uses toner, so print a test.
Keeping Analysis Separate From Description
Analytical papers go wrong when they only describe. After each piece of evidence, add a sentence that says what it shows and why it matters. This habit turns a summary into an analysis and strengthens your argument.
Step by Step Editing of the Analytical Research Cover
- On the analytical research cover, click the main title and type your own words, keeping the same style of capitals.
- Retype every name and contact line on the analytical research cover, checking each spelling against an official source.
- Change the year or date on the analytical research cover, then search the page for XX and for the word Lorem so that no placeholder remains.
- Click the logo or the photo on the analytical research cover, choose Replace Image and resize the new picture until it fills its space.
- Zoom the analytical research cover to full screen and read each line aloud, because spoken reading catches slips that silent reading misses.
- Keep a clean master of the analytical research cover without your private details, so that later versions begin from a tidy copy.
